Reading 6

Luke 6:21

“Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied…”

Jesus here seems to be saying that is good to be hungry. This hunger that he speaks about is the deeper hunger that we experience because this life cannot fulfil us completely. Our hearts long for a love that will enter every corner of our being.

Are you hungry for the Word of God? This is where you will find a glimpse of this love that will satisfy you completely.

Jesus message is for his disciples. He knows that we will face hardships of all kinds in this life, but he will give us what we need for them all.

 

In one of the documents from Vatican II, Gaudium et Spes it says: “The greatest dignity of man consists in his vocation to be united to God.” (no. 19).

This unity with God is only possible when we pray.

We will see this week how prayer meets our deepest needs.
